Julia B. Lynch
1896 - 1975

Julia Lynch (Sister Mary Lawrence of the Trinity RSM) trained at the Palmerston North Technical School and later at the Slade School of Art of University College London. She was a regular exhibitor in the New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts, also in Paris, Australia, Rome and in the London University Gallery.

In 1971, she won the Kelleher Prize for her portrait "Polish Dancer" and a portrait by her of Jean Batten is on permanent loan to Royal Air Force Museum at Handon.

Her Stations of the Cross were painted for Te Aro Parish in Wellington. When that church was closed the Stations were given to Good Shepherd College. Holy Cross Seminary also has two of her major works.
